Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 27, 2026

GatinApp helps people discover events and activities in Gatineau and the Outaouais region. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we may share it, how long we retain it, and the choices available to you.

By creating an account or using GatinApp, you accept the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following information when you use GatinApp:

• Account information, such as your username and email address. • Notification-related information, such as your device's push notification token, if you enable notifications. • Basic technical and security information, such as logs necessary for operating, protecting, and troubleshooting the app and related services.

We do not collect more personal information than is reasonably necessary to provide the app and its core features.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected to:

• Create, authenticate, and maintain your account. • Help you sign in and manage your profile. • Send you notifications and alerts if you choose to receive them. • Ensure the reliability, security, and performance of the app. • Respond to support requests, including account or data deletion requests. • Meet our legal obligations and enforce our terms, where applicable.

3. Notifications

If you enable notifications, your device or platform may generate a push notification token that allows GatinApp to send notifications to your device. You can disable notifications at any time in the app, where that option is available, or in your device settings.

4. When We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own advertising or marketing purposes.

We may share limited information only in these circumstances:

• Service providers: with infrastructure providers or partners that help us operate the app, such as hosting, authentication, push notifications, and technical support services, subject to appropriate confidentiality and data protection obligations. • Legal reasons: if required to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or valid government request. • Rights and safety protection: when reasonably necessary to protect our users, services, or rights. • Business transfer: in the context of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, asset sale, or similar transaction, subject to applicable law.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide the app, maintain security, meet our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

If you request deletion of your account, we will make reasonable efforts to delete or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable time, except where we must retain certain information for legal, security, fraud prevention, or legitimate business record-keeping purposes.

6. Account Deletion and Your Choices

You may request deletion of your account and associated personal information by contacting us at: pstoica@gatinapp.com.

We may take reasonable steps to verify your request before processing it. Some information may be retained where required or permitted by law, or where reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, or compliance purposes.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of Internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy

GatinApp is not directed at children below the age of consent under applicable law, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information inappropriately, please contact us and we will review the situation.

9. Third-Party Services and Links

The app may rely on third-party services or contain links to third-party websites, services, or event sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing them with information.

10. International Processing

Depending on the services used to operate GatinApp, your information may be processed or stored in jurisdictions other than where you reside. Where applicable, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate protections are in place for such processing.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we may notify you through the app, on our website, or by other appropriate means. The updated version will be indicated by the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
